Amir Khan is reportedly set to return to I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here for the upcoming all-star series according to reports from the Metro. The 35-year-old boxer, who recently tired from the ring, has teased he could soon be heading back to the jungle for the special all-stars spin-off show which is yet to be officially confirmed by ITV.
Teasing that he would be returning to the show, Amir hinted that he was asked to go on a ‘very, very big show’ which he has appeared on before. The former unified light-welterweight world champion added he finally had time to do it, thanks to his decision to a step back from fight preparation as he had only previously appeared due to a hand injury at the time.

Speaking to The Sun, he said: ‘I enjoyed it. It’s one of the best things I ever did. Going in the jungle, being away from everyone, being focused, focusing on you and what you want to do in life. I didn’t have other voices telling me what to do. I was thinking for myself. I loved it, honestly. The team I had around me was amazing, everyone was great and it was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had – apart from seeing spiders and snakes and s**t.’
Amir had previously appeared on I’m A Celebrity in 2018 and fast became one of the most remembered contestants for his fear of bugs and for controversially scoffing strawberries behind his fellow campmates’ backs. The all-star series is reported to be taking place in South Africa next year as a spin-off alongside the main show, which will make its return to Australia after two years.
The past two series have taken place in Gwyrch Castle in Conwy, rather than the jungle due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and the difficulties with international travel during this time.
